  1. Those Senators are wasting AMERICANS tax dollars. They haven’t done anything. But now the want to overthrow this country.

    1. @microleafVJ They want to act like a bunch of jihadists, drop them off in Afghanistan and Iran, see how well they’ll get along with the real Trump base

    2. @Randal Walker 75 million voting for T**** is not as big of a deal as it looks on the surface. Each party has about 50 million supporters each that will always vote that party no matter what. Even if the platforms completely change most wouldn’t even notice or care. (eg somehow R’s think they are the party of free speech and personal freedom suddenly, out of the blue, whereas it’s been Ds fighting for decades upon decades for both these things and the R party pushing for censorship and suppressing protests, eroding personal freedoms etc over the same period. It’s weird) The real concern is the 10 to 25 million actual T**** fandom. Still a huge number.

    1. @outdoor fun ah no he cant he cant fire anybody in congress cant fire any states governors he cant fire anybody in private business there are many people he cant fire. Hes fired a few prosecutors before but theyre replaces with a state appointed prosecutor. So he may fire somebody he doesn’t like and theyll just replace them with another. Hes tried that in NY and theyre still investigating his tax fraud, theyll just come adter him harder

    2. @lgb never happen, thatll be a coup and good luck getting any general to side with him. Miltary allegence is to the constitution and the legitamate president that has the facts the court and the constitution is Biden. Who do you think the generals will follow come Jan 20 😆

    3. @The Tweatles You are delusional. The people have voted Trump out. No voter fraud found. The Senate gained seats. Trump was the only loser. He failed 🇺🇸

    4. Only time I want to hear his name after January is the day he gets jail for everything he has done to the country.

    1. @flugsven not 1 russian jailed or questioned.. no russian name or pic or finger print or a phone number or address or email acct or a statement not even a witness.. WHAT RUSSIANS.. get it

    2. @Lisa Clark Do you only have one comment on your menu?

      Btw get used to it, because this is how it’s gonna be from January 20 unless Trump has pushed the red button before that 🙄

    3. @Gerome McGowan I read the entire Mueller report. Did you, love?
      From what you write, it sure doesn’t seem like you did. If you don’t want to Now, I totally understand. It was long even though sometimes heavily redacted. There are these two very short summarys though. Do yourself a favour and just read Them. One in each part. It’s an easy read, and it’s quite revealing. It’s on the net for free.
      (Most of the congress men/-women and senators that were complaining over the investigation admitted they never read the report 🙈)

    4. @flugsven now that you read the drama.. sure did not change the out come.. right.. mueller said no proof of collusion.. means you dems lied on trump.. scam busted

  2. Donald Trump has never believed that rules or laws apply to him – and, that will not change, until he is wearing handcuffs.

    1. @The Tweatles No he’s a lying, self serving, racist would be dictator/sociopath. Sorry that’s your definition of success. America has shown him the door.

  3. The GOP has become hostile to the very idea that there’s an objective reality that might conflict with its political goals.

    1. That’s because their only goal is to stay in power. Any other agenda is construed as radical socialism or communism. But only if it’s not for the wealthy.

    2. The Republicans platform is becoming outdated and the only way to keep it going is by voter suppression, lying, and trying to steal elections

    1. There’s No fn Way We(or Congress) should sit back and depend on NY defend the Country when Trump Violated Federal Crimes.He must be Prosecuted at the Federal Level.Otherwise all Enemies of the Constitution who come after him will have a BluePrint

    2. @Tim Traver good evening Tim..your words are so true..at January 20..high noon it all begins for Trump…..it does not pay to be a nasty and mean person..it will catch up with you…peace

    1. @Steven Griffin Exactly… his donors, dont care, as far as they are concerned he’s innocent. Trump took money from the 2016, inauguration, that they are investigating, ( 1 million missing). This won’t be a shocker, but he started a charity, took the money, got caught, paid a settlement, and now can no longer have a charity… Typical!!

    3. @WARRIOR OF GOD you are delusional… My God!! Here are a couple of facts.. Trump was a Democrat, his whole life until Obama became president. He has taken up residence, in Trumps head. He has stated numerous times, that he would have to run as a Republican, because, they are uneducated ,low income, white Americans, and believe, anything he tells them. ( I would take that as an insult), but it appears to clearly be true. Another fact….Trump, did NOT, win the popular vote in 2016, so THERE FOR, Americans, didn’t vote for him twice. Trump said the same thing, in 2016, that if he didn’t win, then it was rigged. So he started months ago, spewing the same propaganda, saying things are fake, and it was going to be rigged, which with all the recounts, clearly it wasn’t. Keep in mind, he did gerrymandering, removed, drop off boxes, and had Dejoy, shut down processing machines, to STOP ballots, from being counted. Ok, so now, the Republicans, won other seats, but you don’t hear them saying it was rigged, it cant be both ways. So now here we go, ….Trump couldn’t get any Attorney, to do all the innapropriate, liable things Guliani did. If Guliani, is the best Trump could do, that speaks volumes. No one else would do it, because, they all knew better. They couldn’t even get one creditable witness, for all the made up accusations. It’s called smokescreen. The Supreme court, shut down Trump. He has cheated, through his whole vile corrupt life. He has spoken 3 thousand, fact checked lies. Can you just consider, that Americans don’t like him. He is a disgrace!! You can scream from the rooftops, all you want, not one thing is going to change, sorry if it doesnt fit your agenda, but that doesn’t mean it’s fake. Here is a solid fact…Trump, and his 3 kids, along with Kushner, are going to get indicted, for there crimes they did in New York. Don’t take it personal, Trump is not your responsibility… So now, people are sending him money, which, he will put in his pocket. Listen, you hang in there, you get an A for effort…

    1. @Stratelier that would be Joke. Except it’s not a joke is it? People are losing their lives and livihoods. So sad for your nation. Best wishes from the UK.

    1. @joseph ka5 How many friggin Damien movies have you watched ? ..their imprinted on your brain.

    1. That’s because you have no understanding of the constitution, and the fact that the US is a constitutional Republic and NOT a Democracy like the lying communists in the US like to mislead by saying :”our democracy.” It is “OUR REPUBLIC.”

    2. @Papa F Jose Mere semantics. Paste something new, this dull drivel is weeks old. If bandying semantics back and forth IS YOUR BEST MAGAt CASE, go home, you’re through.

    3. @Joel Hummel Take your own advice and go home because you are doing what you are accusing me of doing , which of course I am not. But your likes believe that by continuing to lie like this talking head who was once fired for lying but now paid to lie 24/7, that you will finally win.

  4. CONMAN: “overturn the election for me & say it was “fraud,””
    ..now we have proof how he did everything else in his life…..by FRAUD!

    1. Only idiots expected a Trump President to be any different than his media performance/reality distortion field of a life. It just moved from the tabloids and syndicated TV to the White House.

    2. @lantrick I know the NYkers warned the rest of us but still how could this happens? “fool me once”…..(only)

    3. @Elizabeth Klimas Yes, Yes we did try to warn everyone. I personally tried to tell anyone who would listen but noo

    4. @The Connoisseur this is not a joke but some Russians have advice for Trump to still steal the election (ended 12/14/20 – certified in stone) by declaring martial law in the USA + punish everybody “disloyal” to Trump – not a joke!

  5. Out the WH and forgotten, that’s what scares him the most. Alone and depressed he will spend the rest of his useless life in jail. What a wonderful end for a horror movie.

  6. He’s a wimp who single-handily brought the Republican party to its knees. Mission accomplished!
